Brilliant letting one of Scott Pioli's henchmen have his own team to ruin. One of the premier GM jobs in the NFL and it gets handed to a stupid **** who makes three facepalm moves for every good one. Awesome. Just like handing a new Mercedes to a 16 year old girl who's already been in three wrecks.

A little bit surprised to see Michigan not ranked higher. I think Oregon is ranked too high. I might put Stanford, Georgia, South Carolina, and A&M ahead of Oregon. Was very surprised to see USC on this list at all after the beating they took at the end of the season and after losing Barkley, McDonald, Woods and other key players. Also surprised to see Nebraska in the top 20, considering the way they finished last season, their performance against Ohio State, and the fact that their win against Michigan was largely unimpressive and was greatly helped by the fact that Robinson was replaced by a QB who clearly had no business being in that game. I get that FSU lost a ton of talent but I thought they might be top ten, I expected more people to be buying into their returning/emerging talent e.g. Winston, Karlos Williams, Wilder, Goldman, Darby, Joyner, Jernigan, Edwards, Christian Jones, O'Leary, Greene, Benjamin etc.

I know they lost a few people, but Kansas State still finished 11th and 12th in both major polls last season. Dropping them out of the top 25 all together seems a little excessive until they do something to prove that rating wrong.

Their schedule is pretty soft. I guess the Notre Dame back there will be a test and then their only tough games would be UCLA and Stanford at home. That is all assuming they have their act together at QB. I think Max Browne is the best of that group but i think they'll go in another direction.

USC is probably the 4th best team in the conferance so i doubt they get into the top 20 myself.
